Twenty-one-time world champion and 16-time world-record breaker Katie Ledecky will serve as the opening keynote speaker for the Staffing World 2025 convention and expo, to be held this year Oct. 6–8 in Orlando, FL.
Ledecky’s success rate at the highest levels of competition is unparalleled and a source of admiration for anyone who observes her work ethic and dedication to setting and pursuing seemingly impossible goals.
“Nothing has made me more committed to my training than choosing a scary goal and taking the steps to go after it,” Ledecky explains in her book.
Ledecky will bring that strategy to life for Staffing World attendees with a heartfelt story of her 15-year-old self at the Olympics, when she made a life-changing decision to pivot away from her coach’s race strategy, adapt to a competitive environment of world-class swimmers, and ultimately win her first of many gold medals.
“Katie Ledecky has made a career out of breaking records and expectations,” said Richard Wahlquist, chief executive officer at ASA. “Her practical experience in goal-setting, adapting under pressure, and achieving and maintaining peak performance are inspirations and lessons for any leader looking to grow their careers and businesses.”
“Ledecky’s ability to visualize her goals and quickly adapt her strategies is just as impressive as her world-class swimming,” said Janette Marx, chair of the ASA board of directors. “Her strategies and best practices for driving high performance are going to make this year’s Staffing World one for the record books.”
